Doing this as part of my exam, such a help listening to such a supreme artist she brings Gretchen and her pain alive

[@theblueangel28]

this recital is just the most divine. one of the best performances of her career

[@maryannedavid6983]

Kiri’s “Gretchen am spinrade “ is the best interpretation ! .....❤️

[@oscarstephanedeniau1305]

What a great interpretation ! My favourite, Te Kanawa really depinct all Gretchen's emotions and feelings. Great artist 👏👏

[@laurenceesposito3393]

here, art becomes art

[@CvS2016]

If anyone is interested to explore this song both emotionally and musically, check out Ben Zander’s master class where he teaches a young singing student. Very powerful. On KZbin.

Gretchen at the Spinning Wheel Meine Ruh ist hin, Mein Herz ist schwer, Ich finde sie nimmer Und nimmermehr. Wo ich ihn nicht hab, Ist mir das Grab, Die ganze Welt Ist mir vergällt. Mein armer Kopf Ist mir verrückt, Mein aremer Sinn Ist mir zerstückt. Nach ihm nur schau ich Zum Fenster hinaus, Nach ihm nur geh ich Aus dem Haus. Sein hoher Gang, Sein' edle Gestalt, Seines Mundes Lächeln, Seiner Augen Gewalt, Und seiner Rede Zauberfluss, Sein Händedruck, Und ach, sein Kuss. Mein Busen drängt Sich nach ihm hin. Auch dürf ich fassen Und halten ihn, Und küssen ihn, So wie ich wollt, An seinen Küssen Vergehen sollt! ---------------------------------------------------- My peace is gone, My heart is heavy, I will find it never and never more. Where I do not have him, That is the grave, The whole world Is bitter to me. My poor head Is crazy to me, My poor mind Is torn apart. For him only, I look Out the window Only for him do I go Out of the house. His tall walk, His noble figure, His mouth's smile, His eyes' power, And his mouth's Magic flow, His handclasp, and ah! his kiss! My peace is gone, My heart is heavy, I will find it never and never more. My bosom urges itself toward him. Ah, might I grasp And hold him! And kiss him, As I would wish, At his kisses I should die!

Magnifique!

[@EYEBALLband]

[@jbloveday9538]

Lovely!!

[@victortavora8932]

Schubert, allways Schubert !

[@MyCheleRoutine]

Kai Pai! Amazing!!❤️🎶

[@renatekl]

Intellectuell deph is not necessary but just a perfect voice and interpretation.. She has it all.

[@user-xv6cb1wk6e]

Великолепно.

[@elizabethpodsiadlochefsing8588]

Love how effortless you make it look Kiri. The idea that a large breath before each phrase is not your friend is quite evident here by your masterful technique. Thank you for sharing this! -TheOperaSingingChef

[@ilstraniero29]

Elizabeth Podsiadlo what do you mean?? Could you elaborate, please!! I’d love to know more about it

[@kevinismaeljativacofre5984]

QUE VERRACO

[@gorelash9056]

She looks totally horrified by "sein Kuss" haha!

[@142tete]

I agree with Altonahh10. Apart from being rather slow and sometimes flat in intonation, this performance lacks any depth. The pianist's playing is dull, the singer shows only a very general understanding of her text. Of course, she had this wonderful and seemingly effortless voice, but listen to Elly Ameling's live rendition from Vienna to understand what a real lied singer, though much later in her career and with a bit more vocal effort, can do (and how suggestive the piano part can sound).

[@hironariinbe7351]

キリ・テ・カナワが歌おうとアメリンクが歌おうとこの歌は好きではありません

[@Altonahh10]

Whenever I hear her sing in German, I miss the intellectual depth and interpretation. That becomes crucial in Liedgesang, especially when it comes to Schubert. I´m not saying this is a bad rendition, but it is too operatic and not enough Lied.

[@renatekl]

As I said - intellectuell depth is not nessesary for this Schubert Lied. Eine gute Stimme und eine gute Begleitung . Ein Verständnis, von was da man singt!. Scheint mir gelungen.

[@renatekl]

... und sehr viel von Goethe, der das gedacht hat in Faust 1.

[@baritonebynight]

Too operatic? The singers job in the same in opera and lieder. When one sings either opera or Lieder, one interprets the text and the character in which they are singing.

[@michelrocker9044]

@@baritonebynight Non: l'opéra a PAR NATURE un aspect théâtral; pas le Lied,et surtout pas le Lied chez Schubert (qui, soit dit en passant, n'aimait pas du tout "qu'on en rajoute".

[@BenSchoeman595]

Goodness, I don't really like to criticise here, but I really can't understand this type of piano playing... So unnuanced, and for Schubert! Goodness me...
